Thurs: seafood dinner with old neighbours. Awesome pepper crab.but we had to wait 1 hour plus for the food…not too great service.

Fri: woke up thinking that I was gonna have a simple sleepover at jemima’s house that night. Packed, wore some ratty tee and jeans, dint comb my hair. Met mich at serangoon mrt…where she said she was hungry so why don’t we go to central and buy bread. So we did. Walked to jema’s house…where I saw Justin lim and chai yun standing at the stairs….it was a fricking surprise party and EVERYONE was there!!i cant remember if I screamed or not but I was definitely shocked. My friends are so sneaky I tell you.

Aga, bob, Arlene, chai yun, Arvin, Jason, mat, da J, donna, Erick, YG, Eugene, huiying, nav, Jolene, chestine, anita, ezzah, ethel, grace, xunny, belle, qua, sally, mich jema. It was nice having all my friends in one place.and jon called from camp, that sweetheart. And I’m so touched that they bothered to organize something for me. I wanna say thanks and that I love ALL OF YOU!!! And your gifts were beautiful. The chocolates, cards, 3 pairs of earrings, one ring, 2 posters, 1 banner, 1 amazing calendar and class picture…and of course…Arvin…your necklace.my first ever diamond!! I haven’t taken it off since. Thanks bitch.

It was really out of this world. I dunno if they know how much I appreciate it. I almost cried but I dint!! Achievement in itself. Stayed over at jema’s with grace xunny and mich. Talked, dozed off, talked some more and don’t forget the classic video of xun-ai dancing. Classic. I’ll hold it over her head forever... Had a mac’s breakfast then went home.

That night I had dinner with my relatives. Not very happening la, but nice seeing them nonetheless…got some money, an organizer and LONELY PLANET AUSTRALIA!! Haha ok it’s quite useful actually.

Saturday morning I went to temple and it hit me that this was my last day in Singapore…and I don’t know when I’m coming back. It was sobering. Spent the afternoon frantically finishing my packing. Was a little late getting to the airport. Aga was already there….and I tell you, she made the most beautiful scrap book ever. Bob made me cookies!! Nice choco chip cookies.the apus gave me a really pretty notebook with individual notes inside. Jason and sean came and gave me a fork and spoon…and a note. I’m not kidding. Haha. I’ve been ordered to use it. And pten…ever the comediennes…got me a little fan with their baby pictures on it. They left one empty spot for me.

I couldn’t help but cry when I left. I always couldn’t wait to get out of Singapore…but then when the time came, I just wanted to stay. Guess everyone feels this way. At least my friends will all still be around. And with the wonders of technology, we have MSN, blogs and webcams.

My dorm room is the tiniest room I’ve ever lived in. from the door to the back wall, its EIGHT steps. That’s right EIGHT…but I managed the space as best I could and tried to cheer up the place with my personal effects and stuff from my old room…plus of course my new gifts.

I’m bored now in my room as the tv has no sports channel so I think I’ll go charge my camera, load some photos and update my ipod.

By the way, my campus is quite pretty. I’ll try taking some pics of it and posting it here. Thanks again to all my wonderful friends for the past week. It made going away a lot more fun… especially now that I have so many things to remember you guys by…and ya’ll BETTER BE ONLINE EVERY NIGHT...
